To extract individual files from the compressed files on the CT1350
diskettes, use the CLZX program found in Disk #1.  Compressed files have
the .CLZ extension.  This program can come in handy if you do not have a
hard disk and want to extract files from a floppy drive.

Entry format to extract files:

CLZX clzfile [ options ] [destpathfiles..]

Or to view a list of the files in a .CLZ file enter:

CLZX clzfile /L

where

-CLZFILE is the name of the compressed file that contains the files you
 want to extract.

-DESTPATH is the destination directory where you wish to place extracted
 files.

-FILES are the names of the files you want to extract.  You can list
 several files on the command line.  Separate the file names with a blank
 space.  You can also use DOS wildcard characters (?) and (*) to specify
 multiple files.

-OPTIONS are one of the following
/Q - Suppresses all messages during the decompression.

/H or /? - Displays a reminder on how to run the program.

/B - Makes back-up copies of existing files before extracting your files.
 These backup files have the extension B~K, instead of the usual .BAK
 extension.  The default is no backups and overwrites existing files.

Some examples are in order.  Let's assume you have copied the CLZX.COM
program and the file FMORGAN.CLZ (found in diskette #1) into your current
directory.  To see what files are in FMORGAN.CLZ file, type:

CLZX FMORGAN.CLZ/I

To extract the files AIR.ORG,CHACONNE.ORG and FMORGAN.EXE into the current
directory, type:

CLZX FMORGAN.CLZ . AIR.ORG CHACONNE.ORG FMORGAN.EXE

NOTE:  Periods indicate current directory and must be entered.

To extract all the organ files starting with the letters C and G, and go
to make up backup copies of any existing file, type:

CLZX FMORGAN.CLZ/B . C*.ORG G*.ORG

Let's say you have created a subdirectory called ORGFILES in your current
directory.   To extract all the organ files and place them in the ORGFILES
subdirectory, type:

CLZX FMORGAN.CLZ ORGFILES*.ORG

And finally, to place all files contained in the compressed file in the
directory D:|SB\FMORGAN type:

CLZX FMORGAN.CLZ D:\SB\FORGAN *.*
